Flores de Mayo '09
For many Capuleno kids, summer vacations are not really full rest periods - they still go to class, not in schools but at the church. This is for the cathechism classes that are part of the Mayflower activities.
From late April onwards, kids go to church every afternoon, with college-age "manos and manas" as teachers. Each day ends with flower offerings to the Virgin Mary. Sundays are the most anticipated - that's when the barangay "turnos" are held. That meant free food and of course, "tuda sarayaw".
It's a good thing the observance of the Mayflower festival persists to this day in Capul. The pics here featured were during the Santacruzan, the final activity by the end of May. For sure, these will evoke beautiful memories from those who too walked the long procession around town in their sunday-best garments.
